Thermal energy: 13kWh/m2 Hot
water:
12kWh/m2
Electric:
Lighting:
17kWh/m2
Power and plant: 16kWh/m2 Kitchen:
7kWh/m2

15kWh/m2
Total primary energy: 175kWh/m2
Comment:
With summer occupancy, reduced
lighting requirements, optimisation
of building, etc, the final actual
Primary Energy is anticipated to be
less than 120 kWh/m2.
Main success:
Kitchen energy & comfort
Main lessons:
Issues with automatic lighting
controls and sprinkler systems.
Internal Environment
A simple plan is
orientated on an
east/west axis to
ensure all main
rooms face north or
south.
Site plan
Classrooms are arranged around two shared double height shared activity hub
spaces.

Occupant Feedback
“The children are more alert in the
afternoon and are more attentive
because the air is `so fresh and
comfortable. The daylight is just
fantastic. It has raised our spirits – the
children and teachers love our
passivhaus school”.
Sara Morris, head teacher
Soft Landings - we are providing a full
soft landings programme, with
support, training and engagement;
monitoring of performance; and
tweaking of controls and systems to
optimise building performance.

Other sustainability features
The school has been constructed from
Architype’s simple and robust palette of
sustainable materials:
- untreated UK grown timber cladding
- timber windows and screens
- natural lino and rubber flooring
- organic paints and stains
Particular attention was given to the
energy efficiency of the kitchen design –
equipment and ventilation systems
Costs
Oakmeadow was only designed and
built as Passivhaus, because
Architype proposed it to the client,
who said – ‘yes……
……so long as it doesn’t cost more
than the standard budget available’.
That was the challenge which we
responded to, and achieved!
Cost was: £1,754/m2
Further information
Key lessons:
• design from first principles
• use PHPP as a design tool
• simplify everything – form and details
• allow slack in targets at design stage
• keep controls simple
• allow enough time for commissioning
• ensure soft landing support is given
• sort the sprinkler system issue!
• create beautiful architecture
• it can be achieved at no extra cost
